"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7: 24-25

Lovin' Life

Isn't it interesting how laughter totally changes our attitude?  My children have been a rich source of laughter and joy as of late.  They spent several days away from their momma over the weekend and into the week (thanks to President's day and snow) and I missed them a lot.  They grow so fast.  Eli is always quick with the witt.  And has been picking on me a lot over the last few weeks, making his poppa very proud. :/  And Luke just got my old cell phone.  So he is very happy right now.  We will see how that goes.  And then there is Grace.  The comedian in the family...hmmm.  baby and comedian.  Definitely something to the birth order thing.  Anyway.  I am so thankful for them all and so glad they are finally home.  Thank you Lord for my family.

JUST FRUSTRATED

OK.  So I am sure that you really don't want to hear me gripe about everything and even more sure that God doesn't either, but here I go anyway!!!!  AGH!  I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THIS SNOW!  If I were not in college and didn't have to try to coordinate some sort of care for my kids all the time or wonder how in the world I am going to get to college (which is an hour and 15 min commute on a good day) then I would probably still be tired of it.  But all this uncertainty with school is WEARING ME OUT!  and more snow is coming?  REALLY?  I mean come on.  I feel like I have missed as much college as I have made and am worried about it effecting my grades.  PLEASE SPRING come quickly!  ok. I am done.  Thank you for listening to my gripe.  Now I must do my homework.  P.S. Happy Valentines Day and I have had a good one.  Love my hubby for taking "his girls" to Applebee's yesterday.  So very sweet.  -alyssa
